white chocolate caramel blondies

Butter, flour, sugar, eggs: A myriad of delicious combinations can be created with these four simple ingredients. One of our favourites involves the addition of a little white chocolate and some yummy toffee bits. Bliss!

INGREDIENTS

MAKES 24 SQUARES 1 cup unsalted butter, softened 1½ cups packed brown sugar 2 eggs 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract ¾ tsp kosher salt 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 cup coarsely chopped white chocolate ½ cup Skor toffee bits ¼ cup butterscotch chips Maldon sea salt for sprinkling, optional

DIRECTIONS

Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated; add the vanilla and salt. Stir in the flour, then fold in the white chocolate, toffee bits and butterscotch chips.

Scrape the mixture into a parchment paper-lined 9" x 13" baking pan; sprinkle the sea salt overtop and bake until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean, with a few crumbs clinging to it, about 25 minutes. Let the pan cool completely, then cut the blondies into 24 squares and serve.
